act which has been very severely

ance by the detective bureau of a

unless he is already known or sus.
pected to be engaged in 81. ID. B.
But recent revelations in the "Ro-
jesky trial" would seem to warrant
the belief that more than one man,
previously innocent Of all connec-
ton with the infamous Il. d. B."
traffic, has actually been seduced by
the traps" into buying siogle
stone, tempted beyond his powers of
resistance by the value OF the gem
and the low price asked for it, and
has paid the penalty Of a single un-
lawful act by long imprisonment
and blasted reputation. 1t even
transpired, in the course OF this
memorable trial, that the mauufac-
ture Of counterfeit coins and the en-
ployment of them by the traps" in
purchasing stolen diamonds from the
native employees of the mines was
sanctioned by those in authority in
the detective bureau at the time.
Still another curious feature Of
the act is found 10 the sections re-
lating to the licensed diamond min
ers and dealers. Every claim holder
is thereby required to keep a regis
ter (open at all times to the inspec-
ton Of the police), recording the
number, size, weight and value of all
diamonds found in his claim; and
the lucky digger whose register
shows that he has been so fortunate
as to strike an unusually rich deposit
Of diamonds, is said to be very apt
to find himself suspected Of having
obtained some OF them elsewhere
than in his own claims. In other
words, he may find himself suspected
Off. ID. b." and subjected to very
marked attention from the traps"
or other members Of the detective
bureau; aud as it has occurred in
the past that the traps" have given
false testimony in court, he may have
some difficulty in preserving his rep
utation for honesty in the minds Of
his neighbors, even il he is not ex-
posed 10 the risk OF trial.
But enough has been written 10
show the harsh and one sided opera
ton Of the .present diamond trade
act; and when one considers that de-
spite its many acknowledged imper-
fectious its operation has recently
been extended to the whole Cape
Colony, one can but see in this fact
another proof of the vast importance
OF the diam ond industry, and Of the
stern determination OF the commu-
nifty to suppress the II ID. b. traf

Raising Pork Cheaply,

american A1rcu@ar1Aj Tor Juk.
We need more grass and clover, and less
corn, upon which to make our pork. More
grass and clover means cheaper growth
and less disease. Just as the great corn
aud pork producing lands have been
developed, has swine disease sprung up
and increased, because Il swine are
given a monotonous diet Of dry, oily food.
Grass and clover are the foods OF nature,
and the swine harvest them. They re.
quire little preparation Of the ground for
them, and no cultivation. When pas
tured they build up, rather than ex.
haust, the land; and 1t cannot be u c
ceesfully disputed that they are es.
sential factors in the production OF the
chespest pork. Let the pigs be narrowed in
the spring but on grass and clover az BOON
as they are tit to be gazed, and Kept on
them az long as they are palstable, and
he result will be a pig not fat, but, in good
condition and thrifty, that until fall has
large, healthy bones and muscle and Wig.
orouB appetite Tor corn. And then 1t may
be fed corn largely, for this will put fat on
the large frame the pasture has made, and
the hog is vigorous enough to digest the
corn well; and if the hog is iatted rapidly
and marketed as soon s fully fat, it Is
the cheapest pork that can be mRde-the
chespest, not counting loss from disease.

Senator sherman ON tho Two Great Parties.
No man 10 better equipped than John

isenntor sherman, Oh tho Two Great Parties.
No man 10 better equipped than John
Sherman to give a lucid exposition. Of the
opposing theorieu which have given lie
e. the two great parties since the iounda.
ton Of the Republic. He 10 thoroughly
conyeraant with every page Of the worlds
history that has contributed to tho Amer.
lean system Of government.
He helped to make American history
through Ito most important epoch. His
life has been devoted to giving practical
expression to that American theory which
regards the Union as the creation Of the
people, who endowed it with all the func.
tons Of an Independent Nation having
the lswiul right to maintain It's own exist.
ence and to iegislate for the general vel.
fare.
He belongs to that party, always exist,
ent In the Republic though not alwsya
bearing the eame name, which has sought
X to- build up the Nation without robbine
h the States OF any power essential to theil
statehood. Equal rights to all men is part
Of the religion Of his lie. When John
Sherman speaks, he speaks with the voice
Of q master Of political theory and p1ac'
tice.
In hia strong address at Springfield
Illinois, a portion Of which appears in TO-
days 1NrELlIdRScER, Senator Sherman
contrasts the active principles Of the two
great parties and exhibits them in their
practical effects. He shows, with the
accuracy Of q demonstration in geometry,
that the tendency Of the Democratic
theory is TO enteebls the Nation and to rot
the citizen OF his liberties; and with equal
force he shows that the Republican
theory magni6es the dignity Of the
Nation while it secures to every man the
fullest e1eIcise of his rights IS q citizen
and the fullest play OF his individual
powers.
No discussion Of the parties and theil
attitude towards t1ee republican govern.
ment would be complete or honest tina!
omitted the glazing fact Of the suppression
Of the votes Of freemen in certain States Of
the Union. Senator Sherman touches
upon this branch OF his subject in a spirit
Of Judicial calmnees, but the facts he has
to deal with are in themselves go ugly
that they cannot even be alluded to with
out arousing the resentment Of every
guilty conscience, as they inevitable excite
the indignation OF every American who
believes there is but one law for all who
live under the flag OF the Union.
The practices OF which every citizen
has q right to complain Senator Sherman
connec,s-rathes they connect Themselves
with the spirit which hazarded the
stupendous Jolly OF the Confederacy. The
temperate tone OF this distinguished mans
address will commend it to the respectful
consideration Of his countrymen Of every
party and the more they ponder it the
more they will see in II Of incontsoyerts-
bic truth.
